Cookie Policy
Last updated: 1 March 2026
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences and understand how you use it. We also use similar technologies such as local storage and session storage.
2. How We Use Cookies
Beqst uses cookies in two categories: essential cookies that are required for the platform to function, and optional analytics cookies that help us improve the service. We will never place advertising or tracking cookies.
3. Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for Beqst to work. You cannot opt out of them without disabling our service.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
__clerk_* | Clerk (clerk.beqst.com) | Authentication session management — keeps you signed in securely | Session / 1 year |
__cf_* | Cloudflare | Security challenge verification and bot protection | Session / 30 days |
beqst_cookie_consent | Beqst | Stores your cookie consent preference so we do not ask again | 1 year |
beqst_theme | Beqst | Remembers your light/dark mode preference | 1 year |
4. Analytics Cookies
We use analytics tools to understand how people use Beqst so we can improve it. These cookies are only placed with your consent. All analytics data is anonymised and we do not share it with third parties for advertising purposes.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
ph_* | PostHog (eu.posthog.com) | Product analytics — page views, feature usage, and session recording to help us improve the platform | 1 year |
_clck, _clsk | Microsoft Clarity (clarity.ms) | Heatmaps and session recordings to identify usability issues | 1 year / session |
Both PostHog and Microsoft Clarity are configured to anonymise IP addresses. PostHog data is stored on EU-based servers. We do not enable cross-site tracking.
5. Your Choices
When you first visit Beqst, you will see a cookie consent banner. You can accept or decline optional analytics cookies at that point. You can change your preference at any time by:
- Clicking “Cookie settings” in the footer of any marketing page
- Clearing cookies in your browser settings — this resets your consent and the banner will reappear on your next visit
- Using your browser's built-in cookie controls (see your browser's help documentation)
Declining analytics cookies will not affect your ability to use any part of the Beqst platform.
6. Third-Party Services
The third-party services we use have their own privacy and cookie policies:
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology or regulation. We will notify you of significant changes via the cookie consent banner on your next visit.
